Women’s clothing retailer Charlotte Russe will close and liquidate its more than 500 stores nationally, which includes one in Gilbert.

The SanTan Village store, 2196 E. Williams Field Road in Gilbert, is one of 10 in Arizona.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month with a plan to close 94 of its 512 stores. All of the Arizona stores were to remain open. However, it announced March 7 that all stores would close.

The company’s website announced a going-out-of-business sale would begin immediately with all sales final. The online store has already closed. The company expects to have the stores shuttered in May.
